Why do you give a flippitty shit shit shit who he is marrying, why he is marrying her/him/it, or when they marry? I don't personally care, nor do I see a reason to care, if he is actually involved in a polyamorous relationship with the last vestiges of the Branch Davidians, who wandered down from Texas to live in the shadows of the rides at Disneyworld. It's complete strawman character assassination. It's irrelevant
.

Don't get me wrong, I don;t fault the guy for getting on with his life. However, when he made the decision to have another wife and family, he should have relinquished Terri's rights to her flesh and blood. Afterall, he has given himself to another and that voids the relationship he had with Terri.

2. This didn't pop up over night. This is not akin, in any way shape or form, to a last minute death-row appeal. This has been applealed. And appealed. And appealed. And applealed. It has received more attention from the legal system, political parties, religious groups, special interest groups, etc than it could have possibly merited on an individual basis. Do you honestly think that the courts can "slip" something by, when they are under this type of scrutiny from everyone from the governor of Fla. to the President of the United States.
You are correct, this is not like a death penalty appeal. The condemed prsioner has far more rights and appeals.

4. You don't have to like the husband. I don't like him. I don't dislike. I don't know jack shit about him, and neither do you really. When is the last time y'all hung out and swapped stories? What I know is that this case has gone through pretty much every step it can go through.
You can make the same argument to those who think he's a loyal hubby doing what is best for his wife.

5. There are other things occurring right now in this country and in this world. The intense scrutiny this case is receiving is completely disproprotionate to its real importance. As dksuddeth alluded to, the position that the conservative right is adopting in this case is seeminly quite counter to the position it has stated regarding the sanctity of marriage and its utility to stabilze society.
You're correct, and the liberal left seem to be running counter to their arguments about the sanctity of marriage. It's as if everything is upside down
